MICHELIN MXV4

I NEED TO REPLACE THE MICHELIN MXV4 (195/60 R 15) IN MY 1996 ACCORD EX. THESE TIRES COST ALMOST $ 100 ANDINSTEAD ON SPENDING SO MUCH, I HAVE CONSIDERED PIRELLI P400 AT $ 60. THE PIRELLI'S UTOQ RATING IS HIGHER (320 AA) VERSUS 300 AA FOR THE MICHELIN'S. ANY THOUGHTS ON WHETHER THE PIRELLI'S WOULD BE GOOD OR SHOUDL I STICK WITH THE MICHELIN'S. IS THERE A REAOSN HONDS USED THESE TIRES AS OPPOSED TO OTHERS ?
